born2bead said... (5/28/10 2:45 PM)ReplyI can't believe you did all of that pickstitching by hand! It was so worth it though from what I can see. The dress looks fabulous and the fit is spot on.

RLL said... (5/26/10 2:42 PM)ReplyGorgeous dress with an impeccable fit for a beautiful young lady. And yes, the pick stitching is the icing on the cake!

sewbehind said... (5/26/10 12:32 PM)ReplyGorgeous. I agree that the pickstitching does bring the dress to a whole different level. Well done.

Hilary said... (5/26/10 8:05 AM)ReplyVery nice!! I love the pick-stitching and the fit is perfect on your DD-she looks great in her corporate wear dress :o)

Paris75008 said... (5/26/10 4:32 AM)ReplyIt's absolutely PERFECT! That pickstitching really makes the dress into something special. I have this pattern and thanks for the tip that the slim / curvy / average are all the same. Oh, pattern companies...

Mazzygirl said... (5/26/10 4:16 AM)ReplyI agree wholeheartedly with everyone here that your beautiful pick-stitching has really made this dress. The fit is perfect & the stitching just highlights an already gorgeous dress! Well done!

Raye Ann said... (5/24/10 0:33 AM)Replyandrea, this is wonderful! i second the use of the patterns that allow for different cup sizes. i, too, found that the C cup was more than adequate even though I am a D cup. can't wait to see the finished dress on your daughter!

MNBarb said... (5/23/10 4:32 PM)ReplyLooks great so far. Can't wait to see the next episode. PS, thanks for the review of McCall's 6124. It gave me all the information I needed to get a perfect fit the first time around. I appreciate the details of your reviews.

JTink said... (5/23/10 2:56 PM)ReplyThis is so smart looking. I second what ryansmum asked, please give us a bit more insight to the pick stitching. It's a bold look, more so than top stitching on the machine.

ryansmumAria said... (5/23/10 2:34 PM)Replyoh my!
That is beyond fabulous! What a lucky daughter you have.
I have never pick stitched anything but a zipper. Can you tell us more about how you got them aligned so perfectly?
You are an inspiration!

DreinPA said... (5/23/10 2:30 PM)ReplyForgot to add that we are using the "C" cup, even though her bra size is a 34 D. But, based on the pattern she just barely qualified for the C too.
